need a custom action to MOVE sent items
Hello,
I'm using Outlook 2003 in Exchange Server mode (not cached). I would like to set up a custom action that alows sent messages to be moved from the Sent Items folder on the Exchange server to a personal folder. Can someone please help me with this? I don't know C++, and the other sites I've looked at don't seem to have any custom action scripts set for this. The folder I want to move all sent items to is in my personal folder named "WFI_Archive", and the actual folder I want to move them to is named "SENT ITEMS", which is directly under the WFI_Archive folder. Please let me know if there is a custom action I can use for MOVING sent items. We have very limited space for our Exchange accounts and I go over my quota very frequently due to sent items filling up. It is really bothersome and time consuming to keep moving them manually, and there currently doesn't seem to be a way to do it automatically. Thank you, Mike |

Hello,
you could switch off saving of sent items in options and then create a rule "Check messages after sending" - (no further conditions) - "move a copy to the specified folder".

You can use rules for that instead. See;

Ok. This works to move a copy of messages I send to the SENT ITEMS folder.
But when it does, the message shows up in the folder as an unopened message. Is there any way to mark the copied/moved messages as read?

Hello,
are you sure?

Because "mark it as read" isn't an option. If I've got some time left I hope
to update the article with a solution for that by the end of the month.

In Outlook 2007 the action "mark it as read" exists. Is this new with

No, that action doesn't exist for Outlook 2007 either. Note that the rule is
for messages being send and not being received. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more ----- "Roman Brehm (MSP)" wrote in message ...
